The weirdness comes to Konoha

"Longevity Village."

Naruto and the three stood at the end of the village, looking at a huge stone placed at the end of the village.

The name of the village is engraved on it, but the three words "Longevity Village" are newly engraved, and the traces are very obvious.

That means erasing the original writing and then carving new words.

This village should not have been called this name originally.

Sasuke looked at the three words on the stone, and his intuition told him that the change of the village's name had a lot to do with their mission.

"Let's go."

They wanted to enter the village as soon as possible while it was still dark to find out the situation.

Otherwise, you may easily encounter accidents at night.

"Sasuke."

"Yes, I know."

As soon as they entered the village, they met the residents of the village.

When these residents saw three strangers coming to the village, they just glanced at them as if they had seen something new, and then turned around to do their own things.

Occasionally, they saw children doing some housework in a sensible way. Smoke was rising from every house. It was time for them to eat at noon.

It all behaves like an ordinary village.

But they clearly saw in the information that someone died in this village a few days ago.

It had only been a few days, but it was as if nothing had happened in this village.

You know, there are only a dozen or twenty households in this village, and all of them have relatives all year round.

Someone died, and they didn't see sadness on their faces.

Are the people in this village more ruthless?

I'm afraid that's not the reason.

Although it is the best way to stop a villager to inquire about the situation, it is better not to do this if you don't know the village well.

"Let's find the scout ninja first."

The reconnaissance ninja came to this village at nine o'clock in the morning, and now three or four hours have passed, far exceeding the agreed time.

The most optimistic scenario is that he was entangled in something and did not go back, but it is more likely that he has encountered something unexpected.

But even so, he should have kept the information he investigated before he died.

Their top priority now is to find the detective ninja first!

But since entering the village, they have not seen the mark left by the ninja.

Didn't he leave a mark?

Thinking that he just came here to collect information, he would go back soon, and it was normal for him to leave no mark.

But this made Naruto's mission more difficult.

A village is only so big. Soon, they took a general tour of the village.

Although they had memorized the topography of the village before coming to Changshou Village, when they walked through it themselves, they found that what they had memorized was still somewhat different from the real topography.

"Hey, you guys."

At this time, a slightly older voice sounded from behind them.

It looked like he was calling them.

"Old man, are you calling us?"

The three of them looked back and saw an old man on crutches looking at them kindly.

"Haha, that's right. It's you. You must be from outside, right?"

Naruto and the others looked at each other, and then Sasuke stood up and said, "Yes, we are travelers. It is our first time to come to this village and we want to rest in this village."

"Let me tell you, I remember the faces of the entire village, but I have never seen you three little kids. Stop, right? Come with me."

"Old man, does this village chief rarely come?" Sasuke and others followed the old man on the road.Sakura asked looking at the old man's back.

"Yeah, very few people come. I remember the last time someone came, it was a parade businessman a few months ago."

Sasuke and the others' eyes narrowed. How many months ago was the last time someone came?Wasn't it a few days ago?

They didn't ask the question.

Soon, they followed the old man to a house, which was the largest courtyard in the village in terms of scale.

Sakura: "Is the old man the village chief?"

"Yes, I am the village chief of Changshou Village. Come in."

The old man opened the door and let Sasuke and others in.

"Old man, are you the only one in your family?"

"I also have a son and daughter-in-law, and we live together as a family of three. By the way, my daughter-in-law is coming back soon. It's just noon. I asked him to cook more food and you can eat some together."

"No need, we brought our own dry food so we won't trouble your family, old man. We are very grateful that you can provide us with accommodation."

"Okay then. We're here. You can rest here for now. Even the room next to it is empty. There are some leaks in the room, so don't dislike it."

"Will not."

After the old man left, Sasuke and the others entered the room and closed the door.

When I entered the room, I saw that the room was indeed very simple. In addition to a bed, there was only a table.

"Sasuke, the one at the door is..."

"Yes, it's the mark left by the ninja in the village."

Sasuke took out a piece of paper from a hidden corner of the house.

"What's written on the paper?"

Naruto leaned next to Sasuke and looked at the paper.

"What? Isn't it different that this one has nothing written on it?"

'I explored the entire village and found nothing unusual or anyone dead. I inquired about it secretly and found that no one died in this village.It was strange and I found that entering this village seemed like a wrong decision.Just to be on the safe side, I'd better leave some notes. '

No wonder Naruto complained, there was no difference between what was written on the paper and what they knew.

Sakura: "Sasuke, are there any other discoveries?"

Sasuke shook his head. "That's the only discovery."

"However, it's not like there's no information at all." Sasuke only wanted to read a line on the note. 'No one died in this village. '

"No, didn't the parade merchant say he found a corpse?"

"This is also strange to me. Either the parade merchants made a mistake and no one died in this village, or the person who died was not from this village."

"But the village elder didn't say that the village chief hasn't been here for a long time... That's not right. Didn't a parade merchant come a few days ago?"

Naruto scratched his head, he was getting more and more confused.

"It's not just the parade merchants. Since this note appears here, it means that the ninja who came to inquire about the information in advance has met the village chief, and it was the village chief who brought him to this room."

"Maybe they are the village chief's son and daughter-in-law? After all, how could it be such a coincidence that everyone who comes to this village chief will be met by the village chief by chance?"

Sasuke choked at Naruto's words, but what Naruto said made sense.
